The Return~ Batgirl2992

Caroline Forbes was your average teenager in Mystic Falls, until she died, and learned she was part of the undead. The vampire aristocracy reveals more secrets than even a gossip lover like Caroline can handle. AU/ Forwood/ Delena

In our world a bloodline divided hides in the shadows. Vampires drain the blood from human and beast alike to nourish their bodies. These vampires are not the soulless beasts of legend, for some retain their humanity, while others would cause Dracula himself to flee in fear. The werewolf began as a simple beast ruled by hunger, forever changed by a simple bite. Years later a human boy was born to such a beast, he was Lycan called, for the moon betrayed his true form. The lowly human walks away, fleeing his brethren and native land, for fear of the moon swayed and the blue eyed disciples of blood.

A prophecy written at the dawn of this era foretells a new tide in the family tree, all three lines of blood will converge bringing forth a true immortal. The likes of which haven't been seen since the knowledge of Alexander Corvinus and his sons passed into legend.

The Return

"I'm going to start at Mystic High in the morning." Alexia announced, while twirling in front of the full length mirror. She stopped twirling, smirking at her companions.

Damon slowly sat up from his reclined position on the couch. "Are you serious, high school? Why?" he chuckled. "Because self inflicted torture is the only reason that comes to my mind."

Elijah dropped the large volume he had been reading from. The deep thud caused the playful atmosphere to cease and made Lexi jump. "No, she'll be able to feel you." His voice boomed with a sense of finality. The usual look of apathy gone from the man's face, his stern features reminding Alexia of the power her lover actually commanded.

Never one to cower, she advanced on her lover. "Damon said until he died he had no ability to feel vampires. She'll be the same way."

Damon jumped up off the couch, hands in a position of surrender. "Lexi don't bring me into this. You want to go to high school, your problem. But …" he shook his head, joking to lighten the atmosphere "I'm not sure you'll be able to pull it off." Lexi and Elijah both turned to glare at the sly vampire. "You don't look a day over 19, which is good for five hundred plus…" when their angry faces didn't change, Damon relented. "I'm going to go do something for the good of the coven, teach a newbie to play fetch or something."

Before the vampire had managed to leave the room, Elijah restarted the argument. "Sonja could feel Viktor before she turned." Out of the corner of his eye, Elijah saw the physical reaction Damon had to the name of his best friend, but Elijah continued, hoping his surrogate son would leave before any more history was dredged up. "Damon could have been an anomaly. There is also a possibility there is a different mutation between males and females…"

Damon cut Elijah off, sneering, "Maybe Lexi should keep an eye on her. Sonja fell in love with a lycan and was murdered for it. If it is genetics, could happen again." Damon sped out of the room, slamming the door.

After Damon left, Lexi turned to her lover; her voice broken, almost sobbing. "I've kept my distance, fifteen years, only learning about her through her friends, but Stefan keeps suggesting I just transfer in. I'd love his friends, classes are manageable and he'd be less likely to relapse if I'm around when stuff gets tough."

Elijah's hands ran over his face in exasperation, knowing she wouldn't give in this time. "Are you sure about this Lexi?" She nodded. "You've thought about all the repercussions, especially if she ever gets turned?" Lexi smiled hopefully, brown eyes sparkling. Elijah shook his head, "You made me your guardian didn't you?"

Lexi's smile reached ear to ear. "Sorry babe, but you look older than Damon. In case I get in trouble, I'm sixteen. My full name is Alexia Charlotte Branson, former drug addict, clean for the last two years. You are a single dad, and have every intention of staying that way. My mom died three years ago, and we both took it really hard." In a teasing voice she finished, "You are totally over protective and won't let me date, because you don't want to lose your only little girl."

Elijah smiled, pulling Lexi close to his body, his hands running suggestively down her sides. "That makes the truth sound real incestuous Lex. Did the school need to know all that?"

She laughed pulling his body even closer, seductively. "No, but that's what Stefan knows. And what I need so none of those children try to sleep with me" she winked, "Daddy."

Lexi choked up, gazing into Elijah's dark eyes. "It's the story I'll tell Caroline." Elijah hugged her tighter, all sexual tension between them disappearing. "She's our daughter Elijah. I can't watch from afar anymore. The people we chose were horrible. Sometimes I think we should have kept her, lied, something so Viktor wouldn't know."

She continued to sob into his shirt. After Viktor's daughter betrayed the coven, he banned all elders from reproducing. If Damon wasn't the strongest of the death dealers, Viktor probably would have killed him as well, eradicating the species. Elijah was convinced he and Lexi had made the right choice, no one could know that Elijah broke the ban; Caroline's life would be over before it could truly begin.

A/N: Okay, this is the prologue let me know if you are interested in hearing more. This is kind of an Underworld/ Vampire Diaries crossover, but the story is mainly TVD. Most of the background story is Underworld Mythos, and this is strictly non-cannon TVD. This fic is eventually going to be Forwood and Delena.

For those of you who haven't seen Underworld, there was a Hungarian warlord who was the only survivor of a virus that wiped out his village. It mutated in his body and made him immortal. He had three sons, one bitten by bat, one by wolf, one walked the lonely road of mortality. Markus the vampire, recruited Viktor and Amelia to help him contain the werewolves. William once bitten couldn't turn back to a human and everyone he bit became a mindless wolf. Eventually Lucian was born and he only changed on the full moon, Viktor used him to create an army of wolves to serve the vampires. But when Lucian impregnated Sonja, Viktor started a war that rages until today by killing his daughter.

that's the basic story, I'm probably going to bend a lot of it to fit the TVD characters into the mythos.
